"I employed David as a presenter for various live events and also as host of I’m Able Too, a show addressing diversity issues within the company. He was already an established and recognisable star in the UK and able to bring his wealth of experience in television and unparalleled medical knowledge to the table. David’s extraordinary ability allows him to effortlessly handle the enormous amount of instruction and conquer all challenges with the greatest of ease. He displays seemingly limitless creativity in his work and is a joy to watch and so it is no wonder that he has quickly risen to the top of his field.

"David Bull is a rare breed as a host – he is equally at home in the entertainment or the factual world and that makes him a fantastic story-teller. He is great with everyone from celebrities to members of the public. He is passionate about TV and the programmes he is associated with. And that’s why he has presented many different shows for me over many years and why we continue to develop ideas together.
